Answer :
Energy transformations that occur between the microwave oven and the meal when a cook heats a meal in a microwave oven is electrical energy to electromagnetic energy to thermal energy.
What is microwave?
Microwaves are one of many different forms of energy that occur in nature. Other forms include visible light, radio waves, and X-Rays. Microwaves are very short waves, hence the prefix micro- , which means "small." When microwaves hit water molecules, for example, the water molecules begin to bounce around, hitting against one another. Something hitting against something else causes friction. Friction produces heat, which can be used to cook food.
How do microwaves cook?
Microwaves are absorbed by the water, fats, and sugars in food and are converted into heat, which cooks the food. Because most plastics, glass, and ceramics do not absorb microwaves, the microwaves heat food without heating the container or the inside of the oven. If a container is hot when you take it out of the microwave oven, it is because the hot food has conducted heat to the container.
So basically, microwave oven is electrical energy (microwave oven needs to be plugged into power outlet to turn it on) into electromagnetic energy (where the wave of energy starts to travel and absorbed by the water, fats, and sugars in food) into thermal energy (which comes from the molecule begin to bounce around, hitting against one another, that will cause friction which produces heat and can be used to cook food).
